70 year and just had back surgery for decompression and a coflex device in the lumbar. Dr barnes is the best!!! Takes time with you, answers all question, and you never feel rushed. The whole staff is also wonderful. Dr Barnes has given me my life back. Before surgery i could barely walk. Now on day two i feel like a new person. I cant say enough about him and his staff

I am 32 and had a Laminectomy and a lumbar discectomy outpatient spine surgery. My doctor was Mr. Harlan Bruner. I was scared out of my mind when they said I had to have back surgery to be able to function when I had kids one day. That's what changed my mind along with my wife to want to do it. I am now 3+ months out of having surgery and feeling like a new man. I HIGHLY recommend Bruner and the surgery to EVERYONE who needs it!!!!!
